An anecdote

I tried to sell Valor boots in Trade on the weekend, had a couple of people express interest, but nobody willing to pay my asking price of 5k gold. In fact, many people in Trade chat were openly hostile to the idea that a person would charge money for gear when one could “easily grind it.” In the end, I purchased the Plate DPS boots [since I’m certain this is the most popular armour type] and sold them on the AH first try for 6k. Next time, 8.

I’ve realised I really need to stay out of Trade completely on the weekends. The quality degrades into a physical-pain-inducing level of idiocy, people tending to be too stupid to even troll in any kind of entertaining way.
